Congrats to Charlie! Robert’s was absolutely amazing. To put up 2000 all purpose yards during his prime the years we had a terrible o-line and guys like Tee Martin as QB was absolutely incredible. We’ve been blessed to have some great running backs in Winnipeg for the last 20 years but it all starts with Blink. One of those worth the price of admission kind of players.

Congrats to Charlie! I don't think it's necessarily about criticizing him... but more the thought of "what could've been" had the guy given it his all off the field... Agree fully though... in the mid-2000s, after the Khari era ended... Chuck and Milt were the only reason to attend games... and they never disappointed.

17to85 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Roberts numbers are just outstanding. Guy 100% deserves to be in the teams HOF. Yeah some things left a sour taste but dude was a great player.

Atomic Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I've never seen another player who could squeeze through a pile of 10 linemen and come flying out the other side quite like Roberts Bigblue204, wbbfan, BomberBall. and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 He wasn't overly fast at the top end but i have never seen a quicker player who could accelerate in seemingly one step and never lose any speed on a cut.

And he also took a lot of awkward looking hits, causing the crowd to gasp…. Then he’d just pop back up like nothing happened. Can you imagine if he had Milt’s work ethic and lifestyle? I can’t even wrap my head around how good he would have been. Piggy 1, WildPath and Blue-urns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that rivalry we had with the Als was some of the most fun I have ever had at football games. I remember being in the stands one game back at the old barn it was Winnipeg vs Montreal. I don't remember the year. Dave Donaldson had a huge game that day. He picks off Calvillo in the end zone. Then he makes a huge sack on Anthony Calvillo to ice the game for the Bombers. The stadium was rocking that night and we took down the vaunted Als that night. Such a great memory. Tracker and johnzo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Black Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Many posters here have met Chuckie, I’d say. One thing that strikes you is he’s a chill kind of guy. If he was haulin on a smoke, drinking whiskey, eating cheese burgers, and in the front row with peelers, that is him. He likes it that way. Not particularly an overacheiver. But certainly one hell of a talented athlete. He seems ok with being a postal clerk. He talks to anyone. Introduce yourself if you see him. He won’t mind. Better yet, buy him a drink.

Stickem Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Charlie deserves the recognition.....Didn't like the way he left.... he should have finished his career here....Roberts was one of the best backs this club has ever seen ....He could make you look awful foolish....Many a tackler thought they had him coralled and he'd just slip by them with ease ...Elusive and durable as hell ...one of our all time greats Bigblue204, Rod Black, Blue-urns and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolby Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Quite possibly the best cutting running back Ive ever seen. Phenomenal out of the back field, could break your ankles on a dime, durable for the beatings he took ( Diamond Ferry suplexing Roberts at Canad Inns and just bouncing right back up). It would be criminal to not have Roberts up there, and like mentioned, worth every penny to watch, one of the greatest Bombers in history. Congrats, Charles!
